The Covid-19 vaccination drive in India's business capital of Mumbai and elsewhere in Maharashtra has been suspended for two days over technical issues related to the Co-WIN app.
According to BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation, there will not be vaccination on Sunday and Monday.
Efforts are underway to sort the issues so that vaccination can resume on Tuesday.
Due to the technical issues in the Centre's software platform, there was a communication lag that resulted in a low turnout for inoculation.
Messages to beneficiaries had to be sent over the phone and WhatsApp.
Maharashtra's Public Health and Family Welfare Minister Rajesh Tope has conveyed the issues to Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan, who assured the former to look into the matter.
It is mandatory for all to register on the Co-WIN App before they are called for the vaccine shots.
